Doug:
In Your list there are, as You said, several errors and inconsistencies.

I used all possible sourses: Henry deZeng's book, all possible losslists and claimlists of SchlachtGruppen, and all books on Hs123, Hs129m and JaBo Bf109E's and Fw190's what I was able to find - lots :)

Also, I used M.Holms webpage and Your list.

All dates, dutyes, transffers are crosschecked several times.

I now contain II./LG2 and Schl.G.1 Commanding Officers.
Now, Your momments and corrrections are welcomed!

Re: CO list of Schlacht Gruppen, 39-45 - looking for assistance.

Hi

I have a question, or am questioning Georg Dorffel's leadership of 5./Schl1 as I have a Micro Film claim for a Il-2 for him on 30th August 1942(0915hrs) whilst flying for 1./Schl1, I am 99% sure it's Dorffel !!!!

Regards

Johannes:

Microfilms could contain mistakes. For example:

There are two claims of Egon Albrecht, listed in microfilms as with 1./ZG1. But Albrecht was with only 6./ZG1, and StaKa 4./ZG1 before appt. Gr.Kdr. of II./ZG1.

I am sure that Dorffel's claim, listed as "1./Schl.G.1", in fact is "I./Schl.G.1", and I am sure that he was StaKa 2./Schl.G.1 at that time.

Re: CO list of Schlacht Gruppen, 39-45 - looking for assistance.

After a week's work, I present our provisional list of SG unit commanders. Some 70% of the data was abstracted from microfilms and the remainder from better quality books and thus this represents the "best guess" possible from the available information. I may attempt to update this in a few years when we have accumulated a worthwhile amount of new data. As usual, the apparent inconsistencies are left uninterpreted to allow others to perhaps solve the mysteries.
